I spoke with Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Gerapetritis. We discussed the situation in Syria and I underscored the need to urgently safeguard Syria's minorities, including the Kurds, Alawites and Christians.
I added that the new government in Damascus was not democratically elected. But even more troubling: they are now proclaiming that elections will take place only after 4 years.
I also emphasized Israel's intent to secure a hostage deal in Gaza. I invited my Greek colleague to visit Israel soon and we agreed to remain in close contact.

In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon."
